Ok so my 41 with the 216 has been running really since the other day when I had to get through the thermostat problem. Except it gets hot at a certain time, I can drive it on the back roads around 40 mph and it runs about 180, when I get on the four lane and I speed up and it's working harder it runs around 190 and then when I stop and get back on back roads or just run slower it gets up to abou 200 and sometimes goes down a little but runs about 200 after that, and when I shut it off it shoots over to 212 and pukes out the overflow a bit and if I start it back up it goes back down to 200.
It has 160 stat with the hole, new water Pump and system is clean, does anyone know how to make it run cooler?
